Description: "Journalist O. Casey Corr portrays here how McCaw created a cellular communications empire from the disarray of his father's failed cable business and went on to sell it to AT&T in 1993 for a stunning $12.6 billion. And he shows how McCaw is now creating another new industry that could dwarf the accomplishments of Gates and Rockefeller put together, an "Internet in the Sky" that will provide high-speed data access to any point in the world.

Most of all, Corr captures the heart of a new kind of executive who is changing the way business works forever."--BOOK JACKET.
